Unexpected at home

I love adding pieces around our home that are unique and unexpected.  I think it keeps modern decor from looking too stark.  When I saw this wooden alphabet in bookhouathome's etsy shop, I just had to have it.  We bought it in September, but busy parents can relate... we just now put it up!

A few more items I purchased from bookhouathome.  Arounna screenprints her own designs onto totes and pouches.  I bought a big stack of these pouches to give out as stocking stuffers next month.  The tote is perfect as my 2nd diaper bag.  Its canvas so I don't feel bad about tossing it around. 



Here's another unexpected piece we added a few months ago.  It's a wooden chandelier from uncommon handmade.  It's actually quite large in person but looks small in the photograph.  I love white accessories amongst all our dark wood furniture.

And here's an unexpected photo to my home edition post...


Last minute costume purchase... way too small, so I cut off the bottoms.  Lol!

OMG - Gavin is so precious! The cutest cow ever! Kudos to you guys for the fab decorations, everything looks awesome. I love those alphabet wall decors - so simple and fun.

Indeed - I love those SM boots, so much that I have them in 3 different colors! LOL.

The chandelier looks cool and I was going to tell you it's a little small until I read the text :)
